2021/22 Lucas Digne

[lieneverton]

Can't believe we've so swiftly found ourselves in a position where I'm envying Villa.

Why does everyone else seem capable of sensibly and coherently strengthening?

 

[tom_b1807]

Selling one of our best players to a direct rival for a fee way below his value. All because our manager is a fat man child. Sick of him

 

[DanB90]

Really surprised by this, fully expected him to be at a CL club abroad.

He’d have been perfect for PSG. If he hadn’t already been there previously of course.

 

[Thomasc]

No European club has the money to match what Everton want. Inter would only offer a loan with no obligation.

It was either this or Chelsea and Chelsea held all the cards. Looks like Villa moved first.

We’ve basically had our pants pulled down with this and lost any fee negotiation power due to that kopite rat.

He’s absolutely destroying this club at every level.

 

[coollino]

Thought he'd go somewhere better really

 

[EFCccc]

That’s Villa so much stronger than us now, WTF are we doing. I wasn’t too bothered about selling Digne, but don’t sell him to Villa Jesus Christ.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

I'm gonna say it now too, Mykolenko won't come close to the quality Digne provides.

Might do exactly what he is told though. That seems to be what's most important to Rafael.

 

[Azza]

This is so idiotic.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Maybe

If Villa sign Bissouma as well they will have a very solid squad.

Ings
Watkins
Bissouma
Bailey
Coutinho
Martinez
Digne
Cash

Some good players there.

Shows the importance of solid recruitment - criminal the money we've pissed up the wall in recent years.

Be a long time to fix this club/squad.

Maybe Benitez shouldn't be selling them Digne for peanuts then?

 

[trueblue84]

Villa aren't a rival
Burnley Norwich Leeds and Newcastle are our rivals

Only 2 of those teams will be our rivals next season.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Gray will rinse him when we play them

Yes!!!

 

[APN_EFC]

We’ve basically had our pants pulled down with this and lost any fee negotiation power due to that kopite rat.

He’s absolutely destroying this club at every level.

and part of the Kopite conspiracy (which I find very hard to believe) to help Gerrard lol

 

[Runub]

This is so idiotic.

……standard stuff for Everton ?‍

 

[steven]

Considering our track record of selling players I don’t think £25 million for a 29 year old full back would be too bad.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Devil’s advocate a bit but if we had signed Coutinho on loan and were moving on to sign a left back who is turning 29 soon also on massive wages we’d be saying that the club hadn’t learned any lessons. Villa are doing exactly what we all want Everton to stop doing.
